    ^^

    I don't like the idea of being moved up and down into different servers - losing farming grounds randomly and having to find new alliances sounds like a right pain.

    I've discovered a glitch.

    When defending, one can occasionally capture an attacking hero, up to the space limits in the Feasting Hall. However, one cannot capture more heroes than one has space to contain. This is as it should be; it would be too restrictive to permit unconditional hero capture in full FHs. Defense is powerful enough.

    However, through repeated testing I have discovered that merely releasing captured heroes is not sufficient to free up the FH space that they occupied. The Hero database apparently doesn't update continually but rather on a multi-minute timer or on an event.

    As such, the glitch, which prevents multiple rapid hero capture-and-release, can be evaded by recruiting and dismissing heroes from the Inn.

    This makes an Inn an essential structure in a defending city, which I find somewhat absurd. Moreover, it removes some of the instinctive nature of defensive combat - and worse, it demands time and attention at a time that it can ill be spared from rapid recruitment and wall defense reconstruction, not to mention tending the Medic Camp and sending reinforcements.

    I just found a glitch last night after the maint on 151. The glitch allows you to leave Beginner Protection and go back into it at any time. I'd rather not post it here so no one else can abuse the glitch. I'd like anyone from Evony to contact me on here and I'd be glad to provide the details.

    In this thread, I'd think it would be likely to be safe to post some of the details of possible exploits. We're safe from the worst game and forum trolls.

    Quick Suggestion:
    For some Quests (ie raising Tax Rate, recruiting Hero, refreshing Inn), can you rewrite the code so that it awards you even if you completed the task before it was assigned?
    It's a major annoyance sometimes when I get ahead of the quests on a new server and then I have to redo them (and lose a good Hero in the process, sometimes) in order to get the reward.

    Basically, make it so that it checks for completion rather than action.

    Thanks.

    If I may be so bold: I think we need Evony to hold up their end of the bargain at the very least, before we ask for additional things... One of the most prominent examples is the sweeping of inactive accounts.

    Quote Originally Posted by Dawnseeker (Inactive Account Rules)
    Currently there are a few problems with inactive accounts persisting indefinitely. These cities congest the game world and present easy targets for nearby players. For these reasons, we are going to start deleting inactive accounts. Here is how accounts will be flagged as inactive:
    • Accounts with less than 100 prestige will be flagged inactive after 12 days with no login.
    • Accounts with between 100 and 1000 prestige will be flagged inactive after 14 days with no login.
    • Accounts with more than 1000 prestige are subject to being flagged inactive after 100 days with no login. We are not currently marking these accounts inactive, but we may do so in the future without further notice.
    • In addition, accounts which have only one city, and that city has high grievance with 0 loyalty will be flagged as inactive after 40 days with no login.


    The only exceptions are accounts which have purchased Evony Cents. These accounts will never be flagged as inactive.

    All accounts which are flagged as inactive will be deleted during the daily maintenance period. If you do not want your account to be deleted, log in once in awhile! Our goal is to encourage players to battle and ally themselves with one another and that works better without the added congestion of dead/inactive cities.

    Thank you!
    This is not being done... AT ALL. If proof is needed then I have a credible source. Alusair's (Senior Moderator) account on SS38/S6 was not deleted, though you may ask her and she will confirm that it fell well within the category of deletion. In fact, I seem to recall a post of hers where she asked no one in particular why it wasn't deleted lol.

    I have several (When I say several I mean 7+) small accounts around my 2 cities that have 0 everything. (2 even have 0 Prestige!!!) They have been this way for at least 4months...



    What exactly happens during (the now 1hr) maintenances, besides the leveling up of valleys and refreshing of NPCs????
    I would appreciate a legitimate response to that question^

In addition, members of the dev team will be participating in the discussions with the players. We feel this is a positive step and we want to continue to encourage more direct interaction between our developers and our players.

    i think you may find they actually run several games on each server the more games they stick on each piece of hardware the longer the maintenance will last

    <7:10>[ssfgrgawer]: oh i understand using memebers to descout me, Good move. But causing the lag so i cant close gates is a tad unsporting.

    Ok, that explains the increasing length of maitenance time. However I would still like to know what happens during maitenance. Because the checking criteria for inactive accounts and then clearing accounts that meet the criteria is clearly not one of the things thats happening...

    We've been ignored mate... Did you see my post a few back? I logic-trapped them into replying to us with a quote from FoxyBunny (Former Evony-Rep) and they still haven't replied...

    Why do I feel like this thread is inactive?
